Over the past 25 years, it has been our mission to help students identify and gain admission to the schools that suit them best. To provide students with unique insights into hundreds of colleges, we have authored over 200 college guidebooks, most notably, our annual Best Colleges series. We talk to thousands of high school students and their parents every year, and each of our publications starts with what we learn from them about the issues that matter in their college searches.

During the 2007–2008 school year, we began to recognize a growing number of student-driven and school-based initiatives on campuses around environmental issues and sustainable practices. We added a question to our annual “College Hopes & Worries Survey,” asking college applicants how information about a college’s demonstrated commitment to the environment would impact their decision to apply to or attend the school. Based on the overwhelmingly positive response, we developed our Green Rating for each school. We worked with a panel of experts on high education sustainability practices to develop a survey for school administrators covering three key factors:

1) whether students have a quality of life on campus that is both healthy and sustainable;

2) how well a school is preparing students for employment in an increasingly green economy (for more on the sustainability job market, see page 13); and

3) how environmentally responsible a school’s policies are.

Environmental issues remain important to college applicants—in 2016, 61 percent of respondents to our “College Hopes & Worries Survey” said they would value having such information —and we’ve contin-ued to survey schools for our Green Rating and list those with a rating of 99 (the highest possible score) on the Green Honor Roll in our annual Best Colleges books. We invited 2,000 schools to take our survey, and from those responses, identified the 361 schools profiled in this guide as those with the highest Green Ratings, featuring green initiatives that enhance students’ academic experience and quality of life in ways that truly merit recognition.

In this guide, you’ll find useful information on college admissions, articles on sustainability issues and schools with exemplary green practices and features, and statistical profiles for 361 schools. Each profile provides a snapshot of admissions and cost data, alongside information about the school’s environmental academics and initiatives.

Sustainable development is defined as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

In the United States, there are more than 4,700 institutions of higher learning, and each has a campus of anywhere from one to as many as several hundred buildings. Some campuses sprawl in flat open spaces, and others are crammed into dense urban environments. Some have buildings that predate the Civil War, and others have brand new architectural icons that define the personality of the institution.

Until a few years ago, you could count on most of those buildings being energy hogs. Nearly every one of those buildings was a profligate waster of water and other precious natural resources. And many of those buildings had an indoor environment filled with toxic chemicals and limited air exchange, making them at best uncomfortable and at worst unsafe for their occupants.

But campuses that include green buildings as a part of their campus master plans—new ones or retrofits to the ones that already exist—are decreasing their carbon

footprints, saving energy, saving water, reducing waste, and saving money. And this is merely one strategy in use as campuses everywhere demonstrate their leadership in sustainability.

In 1983, the United Nations convened the Brundtland Commission to address growing concerns “about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources and the consequences of that deterioration for economic and social development.” The commission determined that the developing environmental crisis was global in nature and that the world’s nations needed to establish policies for sustainable development. The commission’s

4 THE PRINCETON REVIEW’S GUIDE TO 361 GREEN COLLEGES

findings led to the most widely quoted definition of sustainability: “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” But in today’s world, “sustainable” and “green” are often used interchangeably to describe concepts and practices that are kinder to the earth and better for humans.

There are many ways of living more sustainably, from adjustments in individual lifestyles to the development of green technologies. In 2002, the United Nations (UN) adopted Resolution 57/254, which established the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014). The UN’s focus on sustainability in higher education is not incidental; a college campus is often its very own city or town with a significant carbon footprint

Colleges train the next generation of leaders who will ultimately be responsible for putting green ideas into practice. By infusing sustainability principles into every aspect of higher education, there is a new priority for a whole generation of leaders, educated and trained, to make a greener world now.

Our aim is to highlight 361 campuses, which, based on our survey of their school administrators, demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability. Some of them are just in the beginning stages of defining sustainability priorities while others are reaping the

rewards of a long-term commitment to green. A holistic approach to sustainable living on campus binds these schools together, covering everything from purchasing and building guidelines to green academic programs and preparation for sustainable careers, and a willingness to be accountable for their commitments to sustainability. Just as there is no such thing as a perfect college (just a perfect college for you), there is not one way to be green; a school surrounded by a wildlife reserve will have different sustainability priorities than one in the middle of a giant metropolis, and what is actually achievable for each may not be the same.

We hope you will peruse these profiles and be as impressed as we were. We also encourage you to use this information as a springboard to learn more about the schools, to visit their sustainability websites and better yet, visit the campuses themselves.

Finally, we hope you’ll remember that sustainable living is just one aspect of the college experience. Many factors should go into your assessment of the colleges you are considering. Visit all the colleges you can and talk to their students. Ask what they love about their schools and what they believe needs improving. Form your own opinion about the colleges. At the end of the day, it’s what you think that matters the most and will enable you to answer that all-important question: “Which college is best for me?”


What is a Sustainable Campus? Why Should You Look for One?

Given the choice, would you rather live in an energy hog of a dorm with poor ventilation and very little natural light, or a dorm that saves energy with a green roof and water-efficient toilets and faucets?

Even if you don‘t fancy yourself an environmentalist, it’s important to recognize that the programs and policies a school adopts can greatly impact your quality of life (not to mention the future of the planet). When decision makers spend the time and effort to employ healthy and efficient practices, they are displaying responsibility and respect for their campus community

DormsSchools like Pitzer College in Claremont, California and Willamette University in Oregon make a point to account for green attributes when designing and oper-ating their buildings. Many of their facilities incorpo-rate natural lighting, improve air quality, and reduce energy and water use. For instance, the solar panels on Pitzer’s residence halls—Atherton Hall, Pitzer Hall and Sanborn Hall—provide residents with about 28,000 kilowatt hours of renewable energy annually. On many campuses green or “living” roofs absorb rainwater and provide insulation while lights on timers save schools money as well as energy. Real-time energy reporting at some student hubs allows building occupants to view hour-by-hour solar electricity production as well as electricity and water consumption. And residence hall students at universities like Willamette can opt to live in learning communities with other like-minded classmates interested in exploring what it means to live a sustainable lifestyle. In turn, these attributes foster more welcoming academic and social communities and result in buildings that are better places to live, learn, and play.

FoodGoing green also improves your quality of life when it comes to dining. Schools such as Western State Colorado University believe that food tastes better when it’s local and organic. They forego long distance, low-grade cafeteria food and offer their students fresh and local cuisine, from campus farms or greenmarkets, whenever possible. You’ll love how sustainable dining often translates to varied nutrition options. Many schools are 100 percent trayless (to reduce water usage, food waste and electricity), compost kitchen food waste (which can be used to fertilize the campus), and utilize biodegradable paper and packaging.

LandscapeConsider how mobility plays into your standard of liv-ing. How “walkable” is a particular campus? Is public transportation accessible? Some schools have thriving bike cultures. Others transport riders via campus shut-tle, or offer a myriad of other transportation options, from free bus passes to car-share programs. Gull Ride, Salisbury University’s online ride-sharing program, matches students for daily carpooling to campus, travel to events, and even trips out of town. You’ll definitely appreciate the freedom these choices afford, all while lessening your environmental impact.

Responsible landscaping practices can be just as inte-gral to quality of life as access to green spaces, water-fronts, or hiking trails. College of the Atlantic in Maine manages its grounds without the use of synthetic fertil-izers or chemical pesticides. Its four campus gardens—including a community garden for produce—make up an integral part of the campus landscape.

It’s important to recognize that the programs and policies a school adopts can greatly impact your quality of life.


Campus Culture of Sustainability: Q&A with College of the Atlantic

Please describe the campus culture of sustainability at College of the Atlantic.

The central focus of COA’s academic program is the interdisciplinary, experiential study of the interactions between humans and the environment. This focus attracts students, faculty, and staff who have a strong commitment to sustainability, and due to the college’s intentionally small size (350 students), there is a strong culture of participation; you can’t really be at COA and not be involved in something having to do with sustainability. Generations of students, taking advantage of our participatory governance system, have developed and implemented a wide range of policies and practices for the greening of

our operations. These include fossil fuel divestment, installing clotheslines for the dormitories, and implementing policies on meat procurement, paper purchasing, and eliminating containerized water. Students consistently push the college to improve how we put our environmental ethics into practice.

The culture of sustainability also extends to student work beyond campus. Each year, student delegations participate in the United Nations climate change negotiations. Closer to home, students work on efforts to help area residents afford home energy improvements and sustainably produced foods. Our students also participate in ecology and natural history research on our two island research stations in the

Students in the “Ornithology” course get a close-up view of some of the bird life in nearby Acadia National Park. Field ecology and natural history are important areas of study at the college, offering students experiential, practical work in the field and lab, and allowing them to see the natural world as a dynamic and evolving set of species and environments.

Gulf of Maine, and in nearby Acadia National Park, studying everything from marine mammal behavior, to changes in nesting seabird populations, to agroecology and salt tolerance in salamanders.

How does COA involve students in its commitment to becoming a fossil fuel-free campus?

COA believes that our campus is a laboratory where students can gain skills that they wouldn’t be able to learn in the classroom alone. Because of this approach, our students are not only partners in developing strate-gies for becoming a fossil fuel-free college, they are also involved in all aspects of designing, constructing, maintaining, and monitoring the necessary changes on campus. In recent sustainable energy classes, students have participated in energy audits of all college build-ings and developed recommendations for improve-ments across campus. Other classes have been involved in the sizing, siting, and installation of several solar photovoltaic arrays. As a part of these projects, project-ed energy savings and financial costs and benefits were calculated by students, who then presented their analy-ses to administrators and college trustees. Through the newly formed Community Energy Center, students have worked with staff to inventory and document current energy use, providing some of the baseline data necessary for energy improvements moving forward.

How have students led the charge for combating waste on campus?

Students have long managed COA’s recycling and composting efforts, both as passionate volunteers and as paid work-study employees. In recent years, these student-led efforts have intensified. In 2014, students designed and implemented a comprehensive waste audit, collecting and documenting all items discarded on campus over the course of a week. Everything placed in wastebaskets was weighed, categorized, and organized into an interactive display to build awareness and change habits among students, faculty, and staff. The process was repeated in 2015.

In the years since that first waste audit, student effort has led to additional changes, including: redesigned and more prominent campus recycling stations; better composting systems for the dining hall, cafe, and college farms; creation of the Discarded Resources work-study team; and an updated clothing and household item upcycling operation, which is now a pleasant browsing environment with shelves, racks, and bins. COA’s Zero Waste Club has played a large part in these efforts, and is currently working on developing a zero-waste policy for the college.

How is sustainability built into the curriculum at COA?

All COA students design their own course of study in human ecology, which is the investigation of the relationships between humans and our natural, social, and built environments. While each student’s path of study may include multiple disciplines across the sciences, arts, and humanities, the institutional focus on human ecology, and the ongoing interests of students and faculty, means that sustainability is never far from the surface. For example: Biology II includes a unit on impacts of climate change; Bread, Love and, Dreams, an interdisciplinary literature and psychology course, includes an examination of the way that place and environment are linked with dreams and the subconscious; Introduction to Arts and Design includes a unit on green design for urban planning and smart growth; and Marine Biology examines the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on marine life. Our curriculum also has numerous courses that directly address sustainability, including Agroecology, Climate Justice, Environmental Law, Natural Resources, and the Physics and Mathematics of Sustainable Energy.

Every student at COA majors in human ecology. How do students make this interdisciplinary major their own? What are some recent examples of students charting their own academic path?

Our academic program is strongly interdisciplinary and gives students broad latitude to choose courses that meet their goals and interests. No two students study human ecology in the same way. That’s because there are very few degree requirements and everyone designs their own major, building a curriculum that’s right for them.

For example:

• One 2016 graduate combined studies of marine natural history, painting, and drawing. He has shown his work in local art galleries, has worked as a guide on natural history excursions, and has self-published and sold a field guide to the flora of the Gulf of Maine.

• A current student is pursuing her passion for sustainability by taking courses in economics, environmental policy, and community planning. After serving as an Energy Fellow at COA’s Community Energy Center, she was offered a highly competitive internship at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

• Another current student is taking courses in agroecology, food systems, and the politics of climate change. She interned at a local community garden this summer, will attend the United Nations Framework Convention


on Climate Change negotiations in Morocco, and this winter will intern at a farm in Senegal, helping them develop a Community Supported Agriculture program.

• Another recent graduate focused her studies around geology, mathematics and ecology. She did two internships in which she conducted research on the human and ecological effects of water scarcity in Western Kenya, and will begin a Ph.D. program this fall.

At COA we believe that students should define their major, not be defined by their major. Environmental and social challenges are inherently interdisciplinary, and COA’s self-designed academic program lets students combine multiple areas of study to approach these challenges in novel ways.

What are some of the ways that students can get involved in sustainability-related efforts outside of class?

There are numerous ways students are involved with sustainability efforts outside of class. The Campus Committee for Sustainability and the Campus Planning and Building Committee are formal committees

in our governance system that deal directly with sustainability-related issues and efforts. Students participate as full, voting members on both of these committees. A policy on green building and COA’s energy framework were developed by students on these committees and subsequently adopted by the college.

There are several active student organizations that address various facets of sustainability. The Zero Waste Club seeks to eliminate all waste on campus through a combination of reduction, reuse, and recycling. The group [earth] (Earth in Brackets) prepares students to participate in United Nations meetings, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Committee on World Food Security, and the Commission on the Status of Women. COA’s Community Energy Center offers students the opportunity to engage in sustainability efforts on campus and in the community.

COA also has numerous work-study positions that allow students to do sustainability-related work and gain valuable skills. These include working on our two organic farms, managing our electric cars, monitoring our solar panels, and maintaining our compost piles and composting toilets.

Surrounded by Blair Dining Hall (commonly known as Take-a-Break), the Thorndike Library, and the Thomas S. Gates, Jr. Community Center (seen here), the Red Bricks is a central location on the COA campus. Image courtesy of College of the Atlantic.


Welcome to the Green EconomyYou’re smart, you’re capable and you want to land a great gig after college.

To do that, you’ve got to make sure you’re prepared to join an economy that’s going green—one in which sustainability is a priority for consumers and companies. In many industries, regardless of whether the goal of the business relates to environmental impact, sustainable practices and policies lead to increased profits and social value.

Investors have been rushing to fund a huge range of new companies, featuring everything from solar energy to green building materials. Even corporations like Walmart, Google, and HP are greening their products and improving their environmental record in response to consumer demand.

The bottom line is that no matter what you major in, an understanding of green issues will serve you well in your future career.

If you want to be equipped to join the emerging green economy, you want to attend a school with a demonstrated understanding of sustainable issues. Schools that scored well on our Green Rating and are featured in this guide offer courses that help you understand your way around renewable energy, organic agriculture, and the tools for developing smart, efficient products. As an example, Salisbury University’s Teaching Sustainability Workshop Series explores how instructors can build sustainability into any class curriculum. Additionally, schools like the University of Washington and American University offer more than 500 courses with a sustainability focus, covering everything from environmental policy to the unexpected, like art and psychology . . . and that’s just the beginning!

Not only do the colleges featured here provide great courses, many also give undergrads the opportunity to be involved in top-notch research. Students at the College of the Atlantic perform research for classes, internships, independent studies and senior projects. Undergrads across the country have taken the green lead by launching recycling, composting, and conservation programs on their campuses and pushing for more environmentally friendly school policies.

If you choose to attend a school with a good Green Rating, the academic, research, and extracurricular opportunities available will put you a step ahead of the competition and help you get ready for the job you really want.

Green Career Advisor: Q&A with Chatham University

If you want to become a sustainability professional, you are probably wondering how a sustainability related degree and coursework can translate to a job. Dr. Peter Walker, Dean of the Falk School of Sustainability & Environment at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, answered our ques-tions about using opportunities on campus to build your career.

How would you respond to students wondering, “What can I do with a degree in sustainability?”

Sustainability is one of the fastest growing career areas in the United States today. Many companies now employ sustainability officers to help them increase their effectiveness through more efficient fuel use, recycling, more energy-efficient buildings and a whole range of other activities. In the public sector, municipal authorities are employing sustainability students to help improve urban environments, to stimulate the restoration of urban ecology, and to help plan brown-site restorations. Sustainability is a huge start-up area in ecotourism; organic food production and distribution; energy efficient devices; and recycling.

While a basic science background is important, sustainability pros need to be very good communica-tors and problem-solvers.


Describe the range of sustainability-related majors, academic programs, and courses offered at Chatham University.

On the undergraduate level, we offer both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Sustainability. We offer courses in aquaculture/aquatic biology, agriculture and food, landscape ecology, energy systems, sustainability assessment, environmental health, global change, economics, social justice, and earth systems science. Both degrees also include at least one summer work program on our Eden Hall Campus. On the graduate level, we offer a Master of Arts in Food Studies, Master of Sustainability, and the opportunity to take either of these with an MBA in a dual degree program. Sustainability has a presence in other programs here as well—for example, our MA in Communications program has an Environmental Communication track.

What is the history of the Falk School of Sustainability & Environment—its founding and core mission?

Chatham University has a long history of environmental awareness—Rachel Carson, an early pioneer of envi-ronmentalism, is an alumna and we were one of the charter signatories of the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment as well as being the highest ranked private university in the USA on the STARS sustainability ranking. The Falk School was started in 2009, following the incredible gift in 2008 of 388 acres by the Eden Hall Foundation for our future home, Eden Hall Campus. The Falk School’s mission is to further the teach-ing, research and practice of sustainability through degree and outreach educational offerings, applied research, and partnership with local and community organizations.

How would you advise prospective students who are interested in making sustainability the focus of their careers?

Sustainability is not yet mainstream. This means you need to be willing to play a big role in building your own career. We offer courses in entrepreneurship, and I see many of our students either joining or starting their own new ventures. It also means that while a basic science background is important, you need to be a very good communicator and problem-solver. In fact, when we ask employers what they want from our students the most common answer is: “We need someone who can manage projects, who can identify a problem, research it, propose a solution and then implement that solution.”

Are there opportunities on campus for Chatham University students to gain or hone sustainability-related job skills?

Absolutely. Students are employed on our organic farm, both to carry out the normal tasks of such a farm and to design and carry out experiments to develop new crops and crop uses. Likewise they work on research and management projects for our woodlands. They also work directly with our Office of Sustainability, helping to monitor campus recycling and use of energy and identifying new ways of improving our Green credentials. All of our courses involve project-based work—currently, students are working with local NGOs on urban renewal pro-grams, on programs to bring better food into urban areas, and with green start-ups as diverse as a local whiskey company and a wild seeds company.

What career resources does Chatham offer to support students with green job aspirations?

All undergraduate students are obliged to complete at least one internship, and many complete two. In addition to internships, we also offer a formalized mentorship program and our career development office works directly with students to help them find job opportunities and hone their interview skills. At the graduate level, we offer the Falk Summer Sustainability Fellowships, and Eden Hall Fellowships which pay students up to $5,000 income for their summer placements with employers. These opportunities may be either student-acquired or come from one of the Falk School’s developed placements with organizations working on various sustainable projects.

What have your successful alumni in sustainability gone on to do?

Our students have gone on to work for nonprofits across the country, from Pittsburgh to Boston to Seattle to San Francisco; held positions in local and national government; entered higher education as PhD students, teaching fellows, and instructors; and held leadership positions in sales, marketing, and communications. They’ve also started their own businesses and worked as independent writers, designers, and tour leaders.

Is there anything else you would like prospective students to know about sustainability at Chatham?

The Falk School is based on and around our brand new campus at Eden Hall. It’s the world’s first academic com-munity built from the ground up for the study and practice of sustainability, with geothermal and photovoltaic energy systems; on-site water recycling; energy-efficient buildings; an organic farm and woodland; and recycling and composting of all waste. The whole school, faculty and students alike, are deeply involved with testing and improving the campus. It is effectively a massive development project and students are a key part of the development and usage of the campus, not just observers. Falk School students don’t watch from the sidelines, they get involved and make a difference.

Green Creativity: Q&A with Salisbury University

Want to have a direct say about sustainability issues on campus? Think about applying for a position in student government.

At Salisbury University, in Maryland, what started as a conversation during a meeting of the Student Government Association has turned into a thriving $200,000 Green Fund with the help of students in the Environmental Studies Department, Environmental Students Association and Green Floor Living Learning Community. From solar-pow-ered picnic tables to vegan food samplers, the Green Fund seeds innovative green ideas proposed by students, with support from faculty and staff. Wayne Shelton, Director of Campus Sustainability and Environmental Safety at Salis-bury University, told us more about the history of the Green Fund and how students can get involved on campus.

Students gather around SU’s new Solar Dok picnic table, which was installed near Henson Science Hall and is equipped with solar panels.

How does Salisbury University foster a campus culture of sustainability?

Salisbury University’s commitment to sustainability begins at the top with the dedication of President Janet Dudley-Eshbach and her signing of the President’s Climate Commitment nearly a decade ago and the Climate Leadership Commitment in 2015. SU has

established an Academic Sustainability Committee with a focus on incorporating sustainability across the curriculum and research. SU also has a University Sustainability Committee with representation from across the campus and a focus on facilitating a range of projects, which help exemplify sustainable practices. With engaged faculty and staff, students see


sustainability all around them and learn about it in their classes. These lessons and experiences will go far beyond the classroom, into their future careers.

What is the history of the Green Fund at SU?

In 2012, SU’s Student Government Association started a conversation about implementing a student fee to be used for green initiatives on campus which couldn’t be funded by existing budgets. In 2013, open meetings were held to discuss the green fee concept and it was passed by the SGA. The fee was approved by the Board of Regents and President Janet Dudley-Eshbach for the following year. The first project was funded in spring 2014 from a reserve of $30,000. The Green Fund has grown to $120,000 this year and will top out at $198,000 in 2018–19. Proposals are accepted in the fall of the academic year and in the spring if funds remain for additional awards.

Please describe the range of projects that have been implemented through Green Fund support.

Projects funded, thus far, by the Green Fund include energy efficiency lighting upgrades, renewable power demonstration equipment, an environmental film series, a vegan food sampler session, a chemical solvent

recycler for the chemistry department, native species gardens and rain barrels. Most recently, last spring, a solar picnic table bench was installed, allowing students to use stored solar energy to charge their phones, tablets and other devices with USB or standard plugs while chatting, studying or dining. Solar power also lights the table and benches at night, while a push-button requirement and timer ensure energy is not wasted.

How do students propose Green Fund projects? What recent projects originated from student proposals?

Students use their imaginations and collaborate with faculty or staff to develop their ideas. Fully developed projects are submitted for consideration using an online form. Projects must support the goals of SU’s Climate Action Plan and include student involvement. Our Climate Action Plan includes a wide range of educational, facility and research objectives so finding a project to fit the requirement is not difficult.

What are some of the other ways that Salisbury students can get involved on campus to help promote sustainability and further other environmental causes?

Students can participate in several clubs and organizations on campus that relate to the environment and outdoors, including the Bio Environs Club, Environmental Students Association, a Gardening Club and the Outdoor Club. They can live on the “Green” Floor, an eco-focused Living Learning Community. They can major or minor in environmental studies and take classes taught by faculty members, including award-winning Chesapeake Bay author Tom Horton. They can take part in student governance with an emphasis on sustainability. They can volunteer during several campus-sponsored outreach events for local neighborhood cleanup, or help with the cleanup of local waterways and beaches. Many students also participate in such campus events as Recycle Madness, Recycle Mania and Earth Week.

Is there anything else you would like prospective students to know about sustainability at Salisbury University?

Salisbury University is committed to sustainability and has made great strides in reducing our carbon footprint and increasing our green practices. Another example of this is our 7 LEED gold buildings and 4 LEED silver buildings which are energy efficient and constructed with green practices. SU’s newest facility, the Patri-cia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons (GAC), also has our first green roof. It’s a 20,000 square foot “lawn” of regional low-growing plants that act as a collection and filtration system for rainwater to reduce runoff and serve as a buffer from the sun to help with interior cooling. This is just one of the GAC’s many sustainable features.

Zena Forest: Q&A with Willamette University

Most colleges boast gyms and research labs, but how many can count 305 acres of forestland among their campus facilities?

Willamette University’s Zena Forest is ecologically diverse land that serves as an outdoor classroom for faculty, students, and campus clubs alike. We asked the University to tell us more about this unique asset, located just 10 miles northwest of campus, in Salem, Oregon, and how green initiatives enhance their students’ overall academic experience.

Zena Forest is one of the largest remaining contiguous blocks of forestland in the Eola Hills west of Salem, Oregon. Willamette manages the property as an educational resource.

Image courtesy of Willamette University.


How is sustainability a part of the curriculum at Willamette University?

Sustainability at Willamette goes beyond being “green.” A unifying principle across our curriculum, sustainability incorporates issues of justice and equity, as well as the environment and economics. While many related courses are available through our environmental and Earth sciences, biology, and chemistry departments, students can also take classes such as “Psychology for Sustainability,” “Environmental Economics,” “Western Civilization and Sustainability through 1600,” just to name a few.

We bring visionary people to campus for discussions and presentations, and a major lecture series is devoted entirely to sustainability and the environment. In 2016–17, we’ll tackle issues of equity, and our flagship lecture series will feature Ta-Nehisi Coates, MacArthur “genius” and National Book Award winner, along with Roxane Gay, a feminist author, professor and contributor for The New York Times. Author and former senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “Lunatic Farmer”

Joel Salatin and climate scientist James Hansen are among the many prominent environmental activists who inspire Willamette students to transform knowledge into action.

What makes Zena Forest such a unique asset to Willamette’s campus?

Few small liberal arts colleges are fortunate enough to own a research forest. We purchased Zena to further deepen our community’s 175-year connection to our place in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. It is a prime example of how Willamette incorporates our unique “place” into students’ experiences.

In 20 minutes, students can go from restoring a habitat in the shadow of a towering Douglas-fir stand to participating in a work session to discuss climate change with legislators on the white marble halls of the Oregon State Capitol. Zena is an important part of the unique opportunities at Willamette for students serious about sustainability.

Students may work directly with faculty members on sustainability-related issues through Willamette’s col-laborative research programs. The Liberal Arts Research Collaborative Program partnered an artist and biolo-gist to study Caspian Terns a species of seabird.

How does Zena Forest provide research and educational opportunities for students across the disciplines?

Interdisciplinary is a buzzword that you won’t hear at Willamette. Rather than an add-on that needs to be touted, it’s a central, natural aspect of our culture. Our professors often say their relationships with colleagues are uniquely collaborative across disciplines, and Zena is no exception. It’s an outdoor classroom for students of art, agriculture and astrophysics, among much else.

With physics chair and cosmologist Rick Watkins, last year’s seniors researched unusual pulsating variable stars and fireballs using Zena Forest’s observatory. Karen Arabas, an environmental and Earth sciences professor and a biogeographer, works with students to study the area’s past climate using tree rings. Artists, writers and sculptors have held classes and workshops on site, including the students who worked with an alumnus and historian to write a book about the history of Zena.

What other opportunities are there for students to get involved at Zena Forest?

In addition to all of the various programs that take advantage of Zena Forest, a host of student groups and clubs use the property. Individual students also have the opportunity to propose their own program or project by applying for one of our grant programs, such as the Carson Grant, which offers undergraduates up to $3,000 to undertake a scholarly, creative, or professional research project during the summer.

What are some of the other ways that Willamette students can get involved on campus to help promote sustainability and further other environmental causes?

Over 100 student-led organizations exist on campus, and many promote sustainability — whether or not they’re a group for sustainability, per se. For example, The Bike Shop is a student-run facility in the University Center loaded with tools and parts for students to repair their bikes. A living-learning community dedicated to sustainability opened this year in a residence hall, and students interested in environmental causes can lead various student groups, serve on university committees or work with policymakers at Oregon State Capitol, which is just across the street from campus.

Through our “Green Fund,” students propose projects that advance social, economic and environmental sustainability, and their peers decide which projects to fund. Students also have the opportunity to work directly with faculty members on sustainability-related issues through our collaborative research programs, which are interdisciplinary by design. For example, our Liberal Arts Research Collaborative Program partnered an artist and biologist to study Caspian Terns, while another considered how climate change could affect mosquito-borne infectious disease.

Many more people and groups work on facets of sustainability, but another interesting example at Willamette is the “Sustainability and the Pacific Rim” initiative that takes advantage of our 50-year partnership with Tokyo International University to deliver curriculum and a summer program for American and Japanese students.

Is there anything else you would like prospective students to know about sustainability at Willamette University?

Students, faculty and staff live the motto, “Not unto ourselves alone are we born,” a reflection of our community’s ethos of service and the heart of our commitment to sustainability. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to each other—to help create a more just and humane world.

A genuine entrepreneurial spirit exists on campus when it comes to serving others, and we’re regularly listed on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for commitment to service learning.

We’ve put programs in place to enable students to put their ideas into practice, and senior Maya Kaup’s story highlights how these programs inspire and support students. A Carson Grant awardee and biology major, Kaup began the Salem chapter of the Food Recovery Network, which has delivered thousands of pounds of food to local shelters. She shared her story through a TEDxSalem talk in 2015.

Students can accomplish serious things here—as leaders, as change agents on campus, as collaborative researchers and as interns at the Oregon State Capitol. Later, as alumni, they bring the same commitment to their communities. Our graduate programs also incorporate sustainability through our MBA program’s emphasis on sustainability management or our law school’s certificate program in sustainable environmental, energy and resources law.

Criteria for The Princeton Review Green Rating of Colleges

The Princeton Review tallies its Green Rating, on a scale of 60–99, on institutional data it obtains from the colleges in response to ten survey questions that ask:

1. The percentage of food expenditures that goes toward local, organic or otherwise environmentally preferable food.

2. Whether the school offers programs including mass transit programs, bike sharing, facilities for bicyclists, bicycle and pedestrian plans, car sharing, carpool discount, carpool/vanpool matching, cash-out of parking, prohibiting idling, local housing, telecommuting, and condensed work week.

3. Whether the school has a formal committee that is devoted to advancing sustainability on campus.

4. Whether school buildings that were constructed or underwent major renovations in the past three years are LEED-certified.

5. The school’s overall waste-diversion rate.

6. Whether the school has at least one sustainability-focused undergraduate major, degree program, or equivalent.

7. Whether the school’s students graduate from programs that include sustainability as a required learning outcome or include multiple sustainability learning outcomes.

8. Whether the school has a formal plan to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions.

9. What percentage of the school’s energy consumption is derived from renewable sources.

10. Whether the school employs a dedicated full-time (or full-time equivalent) sustainability officer.

The schools that appear within this guide received a Green Rating of 80 or higher in Best 381 Colleges, 2017.

How To Read This Profile

Each of the colleges and universities in this book has its own profile. To make it easier to find and compare information about the schools, we’ve used the same profile format for every school. Look at the sample page below:

Each spread has several components. First, at the very top of the profile you will see the school’s address, telephone and fax numbers for its admissions office, the telephone number for its financial aid office, and its sustainability website and/or e-mail address.

The profile header is followed by the school’s statistical data. The statistics were culled from questionnaires school administrators fill out. Keep in mind that not every category will appear for every school, since in some cases the in-formation is not reported or not applicable. If a school has completed each and every data field (and not all do), the heading will appear in the follow order:

Nota Bene: The statistical data reported in this book, unless otherwise noted, was collected from the pro-filed colleges through the spring of 2016. In some cases, we were unable to publish the most recent data because schools did not report the necessary statistics to us in time, despite our repeated outreach efforts. Because the enrollment and financial statistics, as well as application and financial aid deadlines, fluctuate from one year to another, we recommend that you check with the schools to make sure you have the most current information before applying.


An Important Note about SAT Scores

The SAT underwent major changes in March 2016. The score ranges published in this book reflect the test prior to the change, i.e., the most recent available data at the time of printing. Fall 2016 is the first admission cycle that will use scores from the new SAT.

The College Board has released a great deal of information on score concordance, or relat-ing scores from one version of the exam to another. They recommend converting your new SAT score to an old one to see if it falls within the score range at your target schools.

The concordance tables provided below are intended as a guide to help students and par-ents relate scores and score ranges between the new and old SAT exams, and are based on the latest available information as of May 2016. Please visit PrincetonReview.com for the most up-to-date information on SAT score concordance.

College Bound: An Admissions ChecklistWhat’s the trick to less college admissions stress? Start early, and take small steps along the way.

Freshman Fallq Grab a calendar! Use it to track your progress over the next four years.

q Meet your guidance counselor and begin perusing potential schools.

q Get involved. Are there any clubs, sports or activities that interest you?

Sophomore Fallq Begin checking college websites to see what kind of school appeals to you.

q Register to take the PSAT, and treat the test seriously.

q Commit to the activities that you really enjoy, and try to take on more responsibility.

Sophomore Springq Make summer plans. Summer job, or maybe a travel program?

q Decide which Advanced Placement (AP) classes you are taking next year.

q If you want to improve your GPA, make a plan now!

Junior Fallq Take the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) in October.

q You’ll need teachers to write recommendations for your college applications. Foster positive relationships with the teachers you respect the most.

q Take a practice SAT or ACT. Which one are you better at?

Junior Spring q Do your research: Attend the local college fair, reach out to schools via e-mail, and visit

campuses. Consider arranging an admissions interview.

q Register for the ACT and SAT, and make a schedule to prepare for the test.

q Learn about financial aid and available scholarships.

Summerq Start a college list—a mix of “dream,” “match,” and “safety” schools—based on your

current résumé and GPA.

q Brainstorm ideas for your college essays, and begin writing drafts.

q Should you retake the ACT or SAT?

Senior Fallq Meet with your school’s college counselor to finalize your college list.

q Keep organized. Don’t miss deadlines for apps, scholarships, and financial aid.

q Finish your college essays, and complete your apps. Were your letters of rec sent?

Senior Springq If you still have AP exams to take, study!

q Send thank-you notes to your recommenders.

q Talk to friends, family, and counselors before making your final choice.

q Once you decide, don’t look back! Read through your college’s course catalog, and look forward to the next four years.
